HEATING AND COOKING APPARATUS.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 29,769, dated August 28, 1860.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD CONWAY, of Dayton, Montgomery county, Ohio,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cooking and HeatingApparatus; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear,and eXact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, making part of this specification.

My invention consists in a peculiar construction and arrangement ofalcoholic lamps and generators for cooking and heating purposes.

The accompanying drawing represents a sectional perspective view of acombined cooking stove and water heater embodying my improvement.

The cooking stove A is heated by means of burners C of an alcoholic lampD and is provided with an isolated oven B admitting vof a free passageof heated vapor completely around it. Each burner is provided with ajetpipe E through which alcoholic vapor of considerable heat andpressure is projected and ignited in passing the burning lampwick, saidvapor jets serving to enable vthe burners to give out a great volume offlame and intensity of heat. Each of the pipes E is provided with aregulating valve Or cock .e and communicates with the boiler F in whichthe alcoholic vapor is generated. One or all of the burners C can beused at a time, those not in use having the cocks c closed and caps overtheir wicks to prevent evaporation. f Y

Common whisky or a mixture of alcohol and water is used in the boiler Fto generate the jet vapor. The boiler is provided with a suitable safetyvalve Gr and its contained fluid is heated for the generation of thevapor, by means of a common spirit lamp H. A sliding sleeve or tube I isitted tO this lamp, by the vertical adjustment of which the size of theflame and the heat from the burner may be regulated at pleasure. Tubes Kand L admit of lamps H and D being readily filled. The water heatingapparatus is composed of jacket or heater crown M, and pipes N, O, P.The water is admitted at pipe Q and passes through the jacket M, andinto and through pipes N, O, to discharge pipe P. The peculiar form andarrangement of the pipes give ample allowance for their expansion andcontraction under different degrees of heat, and the relative length ofthe curved pipes to each other being inversely proportioned to theintensity of the heat imparted to them by the lamp, a properdistribution of the flow of water through the coil is maintained at alltimes.

lVhen the apparatus is not in use the pipes, &c., may be emptied at pipeR, where also hot water may be drawn off when the apparatus is inoperation.

The flow of water through the heater may be regulated by valve S.

rThe pipes and jacket are under the directheating operation of combinedwick and vapor jet spirit lamp T.

The vapor jet of the lamp is carried through a number of small tubes udischarging on a level with top of wick t, tubes u being branches frommain tube U the whole having communication with the boiler F. Thedistribution of the j et through numerous tubes allows of the vaporbeing discharged near the wick frame and serves effectually to spreadthe flame and to enlarge the atmospheric contact.

I claim as new and of my invention here- 1n` l. The arrangement ofvalved compound burners C, E, e, in the described combination with acooking stove (A) for the purposes set forth. A

2. The compound burner composed of a wick t and circular series of jetsa, communicating with the alcohol boiler as set forth.

In testimony of which invention, I hereunto set my hand.
